Before & After Photos

 John and Patty noticed different signs forming in their home, pointing towards a problematic foundation. The couple called Ayers to find a solution before things got worse. After an inspection of their home, the Ayers team believed that GeoLock Wall Anchors would be perfect for the job. GeoLock Wall Anchors create a pulling pressure on the wall that will bring it back to its original position and permanently stabilize it. The system will stop the foundation from bowing and provide a permanent solution! With these anchors installed, John and Patty's foundation will no longer cause them problems!

The back wall of this Laingsburg, MI garage was starting to crumble. Resting on a hill, this rental property had several horizontal and vertical cracks running through it caused by expanding soil putting pressure on the walls. When walls begin to push inward due to lateral pressure, they’re referred to as bowing.

The steel beams in the after photo are a part of the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. By attaching the beams to the ceiling with a bolt attachment and bracketing them to the floor, the beams are able to push back against the wall and straighten it to its original position. Once installed, the beams can be tightened at a later date to continue to improve wall conditions. Now, any pressure put on the walls will no longer threaten the foundation.

Dan had us out in the past to give some sinking concrete a polylevel treatment, using high-density polymers injected underneath the concrete to fill voids and lift the concrete back into its original position. With a significant amount of new slabs needing to be addressed, this time we ended up removing the concrete completely and pouring a new walkway. The results are a far cry from what was there before. The walkway will be much safer to walk on and water will flow safely away from the home.

Before the steel support beams and SmartJack system in the after photo were added into this crawl space, the floor above had been sagging in several different places. As you can see, the owners had been using cinderblocks to boost up the floor joists. The SmartJack system in the after photo is a much better solution, as the jacks can be raised to whatever height necessary. Not only that, the SmartJack system also includes steel beams that will allow each SmartJack to support large areas of the floor joists. The beams also won’t erode from the moisture and dampness that was commonly in the crawl space. It's the perfect system to repair any sagging crawl space or floor.

This customer in Mattawan, MI had a cracked block wall in his 40-year-old ranch style home. The 3rd block down the wall was bowing in and cracking. After doing some landscaping, the cracking became worse and a solution is desperately needed.

We installed out CarbonArmor system. CarbonArmor uses the same technology as the Army Corps of Engineers designed to reinforce bomb shelters to stabilize your basement walls. The system consists of fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times as strong as steel, maximizing the utility of the product. And as a bonus, no excavation is needed.
